Jan 30th-February 1st 2026 Arctic Blast/ULL Snow OBS Thread.
Carvers Gap replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Kind of surprising to see decent snow, and it not accumulating on grassy nor raised surfaces. The sun is still kind of poking through. I thought things would immediately be covered due to the very cold temps. Nope. It may stick later, but it is not right now. Knoxville folks, you are not really missing out...and I am under a decent band. It is similar to March snows where it snows all day and doesn't accumulate. Need more rates or lower sun angle. -

Light to moderate snow IMBY. It is very fine and not sticking yet. Sun was out and then it was not. It started snowing immediately after that. -

I was sitting here w/ the sun shining through the clouds, and noticed the sun disappear....started snowing almost immediately after. I have seen that happen only a few times...once out West.- 782 replies

Next weekend still looks like a pretty significant upslope event as yet another in a series of strong cold fronts impacts the region.

The 12z GFS is just one system after another, beginning on Weds.

I wouldn't completely rule out something even Weds or Thurs...one scenario is a slider w/ mostly rain. Another is a similar setup, but it backs the flow as the front passes. Might be room for a slp or weak wave to ride that front.

We gonna run this back again next Saturday as well....0z GFS and Euro have a pronounced upslope event advertised???

I was thinking maybe around 2:00PM for TRI and also a friend of mine noted this as well. I would think Knoxville is a hair later than that - I hope so, because I have one commuting!!!!- 782 replies

I would be really surprised if you don't do halfway decent w/ this...good elevation and just the Plateau's ability to squeeze every, last drop from the atmosphere.- 782 replies

Probably just the 3k NAM and its elevation issues...but the 3k put 40+" in the Smokies. That is Sierra Nevada level stuff.- 782 replies

I hate ULL setups. They (edit)can be really, really good or really, really bad. Pretty much Tennessee basketball this year…- 782 replies

I hope the narrative is this…Carvers was really slow to get on board with the best snow we have had in years. LOL. I am still not on board, and might not be until I see the whites if it’s eyes! Haha.- 782 replies

I think somehow the Plateau finds its way to 3-4" this weekend either with upslope or initial orographic lift w/ the main wave of precip.- 782 replies

Reminds me of 17-18 at the end of December. JB mentioned that the last half of February might have a strong STJ component along w/ cold. I tend to agree with him though I haven't looked at the Weeklies today. I kind of think nickel and dime stuff is the rule for right now. It is crazy cold with low wind chills outside right now. I really don't even want to think about the weekend cold!- 782 replies
